    how to turn off the read-only mode on "my Documents"?


    this happens on my Windows 10 , without being on an administrator account. I wanted to install a video game from Steam but i learned that its files must go on "My documents" files. and my PC refuse to create the files of this game on "My Documents" each time i try to install it. it refuse to create a path for this game. which is strange because i have all of the authorizations on my PC Documents. instead i get a message where's there's written "FS_Createpath: failed to create path C:\Users\NAME\Documents\game\main. Copy console log to clipboard?" . the "read-only" mode is the responsible of my issue. i need an answer.

    :)

    Hi,



    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    I understand your concern and will assist you to resolve this issue.

    • Have you tried installing latest version of coral document?
    • Is it happening only with specific document or all document?
    • Did you make any changes prior to this issue?
    You may follow the steps provided below and check if it helps to resolve the issue

    I suggest you to uninstall and reinstall the Coral software. Try to install the latest Coral software from the manufacturer web site and check if it helps, if the issue persist try to install in compatibility mode

    Method 1: Compatibility mode

    I would suggest you to install the latest available software on manufacturer's website in compatibility mode.

    Follow the steps below on how to install software in compatibility mode:

    1. Download the software from the manufacturer’s website and save it on your local disk.

    2. Right click on the setup file of the software and select “Properties”.

    3. Select “Compatibility” Tab.

    4. Place a check mark next to “Run this program in Compatibility mode” and select operating system from the drop down list.

    5. Let the software install and then check the functionality.

    And, also install all the software from the manufacturer web site.



    Hope this helps. If the issue remains unresolved, please get back to us and we would be happy to help.

    how to turn off the read-only mode on "my Documents"?

    Download of documents read


    Thanks brummyfan for quick and succinct response.

    Following your steps I find that 'Display in read mode by default' is already ticked.

    So I tried unchecking 'Allow speculative download in the background' in case this was the culprit; but it was not.

    Is W10 involved in this at all?
